The modeling and measurement of the biodynamic response of the seated human body has
recently been an active research topic, with major applications to ergonomics and …

In the framework of whole-body vibration (WBV), biodynamics refers to biomechanical
responses of the human body to impressed oscillatory forces or motions. The biodynamic …

Every environment offers stimuli to subjects. Some of these stimuli can be harmful to the
human health, like vibration, depending on the intensity and/or exposure duration, among …

Abstract Changes in the seating condition may change the body posture which could affect
the transmission of vibration through a vehicle seat. This study investigates the effect of …

This study examined how the apparent mass and transmissibility of the human body depend
on the magnitude of fore-and-aft vibration excitation and the presence of vertical vibration …

Background This study aimed to assess the whole-body vibration (WBV) exposure among
large blast hole drill machine operators with regard to the International Organization for …

Seat-to-head transmissibility is a biomechanical measure that has been widely used for
many decades to evaluate seat dynamics and human response to vibration. Traditionally …

The dependence of biodynamic responses of the seated human body on the frequency,
magnitude and waveform of vertical vibration has been studied in 20 males and 20 females …

Vibration is a main environmental stress in vehicles. The discomfort caused by vibration may
differ in different vehicles and road conditions. This laboratory study investigated the …

Frequency weightings for predicting vibration discomfort assume the same frequency-
dependence at all magnitudes of vibration, whereas biodynamic studies show that the …
